About Seller: In 1960, a group of six families identified the growing demand for high-quality electronic components in the rapidly expanding high-tech industries. Recognizing the need for suppliers who could understand their requirements and provide specialized services, they established Electronic Fasteners Inc. (EFI) in a small office in South Boston that same year. Specializing in military-grade fasteners for the electronics, aerospace, and defense sectors, EFI quickly gained traction and achieved profitability within its first year.
Over the years, EFI underwent significant expansion, moving from a 3,500 square foot basement to a 20,000 square foot warehouse in 1965, and further expanding to a 30,000 square foot facility in 1972. Today, EFI remains a family-owned wholesale distributor of fasteners and related products, with five of the original founding families actively involved in the company. This ensures that generations of industry knowledge and expertise are dedicated to serving our customers.
